Calibri was never that great IMHO. Just like Apple with their San Francisco font, it’s worth a change to get a really great modern font and it looks like Microsoft went all out for Aptos. I like it
- troupo 3y agoCompare this to how Apple introduces San Francisco: https://youtu.be/OpveNRh-jXU https://youtu.be/OpveNRh-jXU

- TeMPOraL 3y agoCalibri was a big deal when introduced because, along with the other fonts in that cohort[0] (like Consolas), it was optimized for subpixel rendering (known on Windows as ClearType), which was a new thing too, and made huge difference in quality and comfort of reading text on flat panel displays. It was a good, practical reason to create new set of default fonts. -- [0] - See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearType#ClearType_Font_Collection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearType#ClearType_Font_Colle...
- whoopdedo 3y agoI always liked that they all began with 'C'. Made it easy to remember which were the default fonts that would be available on any Windows system.
